Hi!
Are you using the embedded sound editor that opens when you click one of “Editor” button above the transport bar – where it says “Tracks, Editor, Mixer, Big Transport” – or are you using the editor that opens up in a new window?
If it’s the first, maybe you minimized it by accident. Try looking for the editor’s title bar:
You can click it and drag it up so the editor becomes visible again.
Otherwise I can’t think of anything right now that could go wrong. I’ve never had something like that happen… 😕
Also, when you say you double-clicked on all four tracks, do you mean you clicked the audio events? Double-clicking the track headers will only bring up the track properties window.
